With Plaxico Burress having just been sentenced to two years in jail for possessing and discharging a firearm in a public space, we are reminded that these masters of the field and the court are just people, too. They make mistakes, and have to pay for them. However, sometimes the mistakes they make are so hilariously idiotic, we can’t help but make fun of them. Here are the 12 Dumbest Convicted Athletes.

Now that the Detroit Red Wings have finished off the Chicago Blackhawks in the West, the NHL is looking forward to its iconic figurehead avenging last year’s Stanley Cup Finals loss against the league’s marquee franchise – Sidney Crosby and Co. vs. the Detroit Red Wings, who are now at 1-2 in the Stanley Cup Finals, which game four schedule for Thursday.  This represents the league’s first rematch in 25 years when the New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers did battle in consecutive years (1982-83 and 1983-84).

Once the Washington Capitals completed a thrilling series comeback win over the New York Rangers from down three games to one, the heads of the league watched the final period of the Carolina Hurricanes vs. New Jersey Devils Game 7 anxiously, hoping Carolina could rally to force a marquee ‘best case scenario‘ matchup in the second round – Sidney “The Next One” Crosby vs. Alex “The Great” Ovechkin.

On a day when the 4-0-0 New York Rangers should have been excitedly preparing for their cross-river rival New Jersey Devils, they were instead mourning the loss of one of the brightest lights in the future of their historic franchise. Monday night in Russia, the hockey world lost one of its top talents when Ranger prospect Alexei Cherepanov suffered an apparent heart attack during a game against Russin pro-team Avangard Omsk road-game.

The enigmatic 19-year old right winger had a brilliant future ahead of him, already rated as the top European talent in the 2007 draft, having already scored more points than Alexander Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin during his first year in the Russian League. What stood out most about this young Russian-born skater was his superstar aura that emanated confidence, intelligence, competitiveness, and a respectable personality both on and off the ice.

Candidate “Beauty” Secrets

A few weeks back we honored the sad, lonely lives of water boys and sparring partners; this week we give props to the most exciting (and highest paying) jobs for non-athletes in sports. Some of these professions require skill, finesse and a past-career in the sport while others…well, you’ll see.

Honorable mention: the beer guy. Yeah, it’s amazing to offer up beer to rabid sports fans, but you don’t get to drink any brews on the job. Well, at least legally.

Check out the Top 10 after the jump! (more…)

Guys like Alex Rodriguez and Shaquille O’Neal make loads of cash for kicking ass at sports. But what about the little guys – the sad sacks of sh*t that have to mop up sh*t for a living right next to million-dollar athletes? It’s time to honor them with The 10 Worst Jobs in Sports.

10. NHL Ice-Cleaner
No, we’re not talking about a Zamboni driver. That would be on the list of coolest sports jobs. This is the guy who has to scoop up the octopi and hats off the ice during NHL games. Try not to slip on those tentacles on national TV!

9. International Soccer Ref
These guys play crucial roles in the most popular sport on the planet. And if fans disagree with their calls, which happens quite often, they get death threats, cars driven onto the pitch and much worse. One ref got the ever-loving sh*t beat out of him for yellow-carding a local hero. (more…)

With recent events in the follow sports I want to know which commissioner you would least want to be.

To the chagrin of girlfriends around the country, the average guy has a major sport to watch, follow, bet on and discuss everyday of the year. Baseball dominates the summer, football the fall and basketball holding strong between the two. The NCAA picks up the slack after the Super Bowl and finishes up right as the NBA starts to get interesting. Despite the year round sports saturation, the supply has not quite met the demand. We as a country are missing our fourth sport. The spot once filled by the pre-strike NHL, and never satisfied by other feeble attempts (sorry XFL and soccer), is currently wide open for the taking.

Thankfully to my wandering mind, a day off of work and an all day marathon on VH1, “The World Series of Pop Cultureâ€? has become my choice as the new frontrunner. Though the entire first season can be watched in about nine hours (trust me on this), the show could become a major contender in the sports world by following these easy steps. (more…)
